Lille, the capital of food lovers and the curious

If Lille is such a hit, it's because it brings together everything you love: a super dynamic food scene (697 restaurants for 100,000 residents, you have plenty to choose from), a thriving cultural life (273 different activities listed), and above all, a huge buzz on the Internet, where Lille ranks at the top of the most sought-after French cities relative to its population (over 10,000 queries per year for every 100,000 residents). Proof that it captivates well beyond its borders.


The Lille Way of Living Well

In Lille, you don't need to empty your bank account to treat yourself. The cost of living is very reasonable, much more than in Paris or Bordeaux, all while enjoying reassuring safety with a particularly low crime rate (50.8). So you can peacefully enjoy your drinks on the terrace, your cultural outings, and your night adventures without any stress.

Sure, we might be missing a bit of sunshine (okay, a lot), but with so many great spots and such a warm atmosphere, you quickly forget about the weather.


Just a Stone's Throw from All of Europe (and that's awesome)

As a bonus, Lille offers you a perfect geographical location, within a train ride of some of Europe’s most beautiful cities: Brussels, Amsterdam, London, or Berlin. In just a few hours, you can change scenery for an impromptu weekend with our Belgian neighbors or a trip to European capitals.

Lil ```he clearly deserves its place on the podium, but we’ve known that for a long time.
